Why do some train clubs build up the table top by 20 bricks?

From Larry Pieniazek: !

Some train clubs, like PNLTC, have tables. They put their tables together and they build the layout by putting track together and placing buildings on a brown or green colored table. This makes for a highly flexible layout, but it may take a long time to set up and tear down.

Other clubs like GMLTC have modules. Each module is a complete and the track is attached to the LEGO below. GMLTC modules are more like model railroad modules in that they are pre-built. This makes for a fairly rigid layout that is fast to set up.

The modules are 15 or more bricks high to be strong enough to be lifted up, flipped over, stacked on top of each other, and so on. The height also allows features like subways and bridges built in at track level.
